On the mat
How a class runs.
Every class follows the same shape, whether it's your first session or your five hundredth.
- Warm-up
Stretching and movement to get the body ready. Caridian runs stretching routines before and after every class.
- Technique
Alan demonstrates the technique of the day, then the room drills it in pairs.
- Rounds
Sparring, scaled to the people on the mat.
Paperwork
The waiver.
Every new student signs a waiver before their first class. Print it at home and bring it with you, or sign at the gym.
Do I need a gi for my first class?
Not necessarily. Call ahead and we'll tell you what you need for the class you're coming to. If you own a gi, bring it.
Should I call before coming in?
Yes — call or send a message so we know to expect you and can point you to the right session.
How do I pay?
Single-class passes, one-week passes, and monthly memberships are sold through Square. See pricing.
Ready when you are.
Call the gym and we'll get you on the mat this week.
